The Emperor's eyes darkened when he saw the blades pointed to him. Swiftly, his hand reached for the weapon placed beside him.
Seeing the man in the golden robe, the assassins hesitated for a few seconds before they swung their sword to the Emperor. Their head filled with thoughts of the possible award they might get the moment they have successfully killed the Emperor.
Just then, the Emperor raised his sword and the sound of metals clunked.
A look of surprise passed the assassins' eyes when the Emperor had successfully blocked their attack. They had never thought that the old man would be able to block their attack.
The two assassins were quick to recover and soon they lurched for another attack.
At this time, the Emperor jumped out of his broken carriage and exchanged a few blows with the assassins. The look on the assassins' faces changed as they were not expecting the Emperor to be someone who was good at sword skills.
